A heavy, block-based sans with irregular, hand-cut geometry. Strokes are formed from chunky polygonal shapes with subtly wavering sides, uneven corners, and occasional notched joints, creating a deliberately imperfect silhouette. Counters are small and squarish (often appearing as punched-in rectangles), and the overall rhythm feels jumpy, with letters seeming to tilt or wobble slightly while keeping a mostly upright stance. Terminals are blunt, joins are abrupt, and spacing reads as compact with dense black mass across words.
Best suited for display settings such as posters, headline typography, packaging, stickers, and playful editorial callouts where a rough-cut, handmade look is desired. It can also work for comic-style titling or event graphics, especially when used with generous size and spacing.
The font projects a playful, mischievous tone—like paper cutouts or a poster made from chunky stencils. Its uneven edges and quirky construction add energy and humor, leaning toward a bold, attention-grabbing voice rather than a polished corporate feel.
The design appears intended to mimic a bold cut-paper or improvised stencil aesthetic, prioritizing personality and impact through irregular geometry and compact counters. It aims to feel handmade and energetic while remaining recognizably sans in structure.
At larger sizes, the distinctive cutout counters and jagged contours become a key character cue; at smaller sizes, the dense shapes and tight apertures may reduce clarity. Numerals and capitals match the same angular, punched-out logic, keeping a consistent, poster-like texture across sets.
